"It's impossible to ask a player to perform well during the regular season if you haven't practiced," Allen explained. "Last year at this time, he's still rehabbing his knee, he's not allowed to practice, he's not allowed to work in team drills at all because he's still rehabilitating himself. We put him, really, on the spot by trying to do that."

That's true. But we are unaware of any statements from Allen expressing public opposition to Shanahan's plans last summer. In fact, the Washington Post unearthed this quote from Allen in mid-August:

Allen on QB @RGIII: "He is ahead of schedule. We've had no setbacks (knocks on wood) and the plan is for him to play in Week 1." #HTTR
